36 students qualify for Cowbellpedia TV quiz semi final

The preliminary rounds of the 2016 Cowbellpedia Secondary Schools
Mathematics Television Quiz Show ended last weekend and produced 36
semi-finalists who are set to battle for the 12 slots in the finals of
both Junior and senior categories.

Out of the 47,000 candidates that participated in the Stage 1 written
examination of the competition, only 108 qualified for the Stage 2, a
Television Quiz Show which started on July 31st, 2016. This was made up
of 71 males (66%) and 37 females (34%).

Out of the 36 semi-finalists, there are 17 males (47%) and 19 females
(53%). The breakdown of the figure shows that out of every 10 females
that participated in the preliminary rounds, 5 females qualified, while
out of 10 males that participated in the preliminary rounds, 2 males
qualified for the semi-finals. In 2016, to encourage Girl Child
Education, the brand sponsor, Cowbell Our Milk made a humble appeal that
Mixed Schools should nominate minimum two (2) girls for each category
to represent such school. The above result validates the sponsor’s
initiative.

Another outstanding highlight is that all the eight students that
participated in the preliminary rounds from The Ambassadors College,
Ota, Ogun State secured the semi-final tickets.
